Years ago I became a customer for MAIL. ** JUST. MAIL.**

I now have access to
VPN
-Don’t care, don’t want. I use a different service.
Drive
-I’d rather eat my own head than trust someone else’s computer with my files. I self host.
Docs+Sheets, storing the documents in the abovementioned “Drive”
Are you joking?
ProtonPass
-Use a different self hosted solution
Wallet
-Not on your @#^ing life
Lumo AI
GFYS

Every single time I find out more trash got glued to my account I get angrier.

Either provide a “Mail+Calendar ONLY” package for a discount or prepare to lose a customer.

    The price has not increased due to the new things your subscription now includes. You are paying no more money than you did when you were only paying for email, if you’ve used Proton for that long. You are still paying the same price and only using email.

    Your gym adds some new basketball courts and doesn’t change the membership price. You don’t play basketball, so you complain and tell the gym they should lower your membership price?

    Your favorite deli likes you so much that they start giving you two sandwiches every time you order one, and you think that since they can offer you this you should be given the option to pay less for a single sandwich?

    Depressing mindset.

      Weird logic. They’re “giving” me stuff I don’t want for my money. Sure. They’re also spending all their time adding and maintaining things that are NOT what I’m here for. That means “mail” is suffering.

          I mean- versus them hardening and improving Mail with all that money and time?

          Also yes- it’s infected (by default) with an AI writing assistant
